ISO 22000: Requirements for food safety management systems

摘要

HACCP is the current definition of a food safety system. It is a system that builds food safety into products, and then controls the process to ensure the production of safe food. Dr. Harold Bauman, one of the original developers of HACCP, correctly predicted that HACCP would evolve over the years. This evolution resulted in the development of a more effective definition of a food safety system without jeopardizing the key structural elements of HACCP. In 2001, Danish Standards proposed to the International Organization for Standardization, the development of a standard that would define the requirements for a food safety management standard. This standard would incorporate the concepts of HACCP into an auditable standard. It is expected that ISO 22000:200x Food safety management systems -Requirements for any organization in the food chain, will be published in the last quarter of 2005.
